    Because Putin is a “tough guy” and Trump wants to be like him.

    Trump wants the Russian experience for all of us, with oligarch elites ruling over impoverished serfs, and violence keeping the “lesser people” in line.

    Trump will be sentenced for 34 felonies next month. Here’s hoping it’s jail time.

  2. Remember that time Donald put Putin’s word above his own intelligence agency’s? I do.

    This is so incredibly dumb. People even lightly perusing the news over the last two years should know Putin’s thoughts on the matter. Every time anyone helps Ukraine, he threatens nuclear armageddon.

  4. How the single weakest person on planet earth is seen by some as a strongman. Jesus Christ.

    Did he also ask Putin for a binky? Fuuuuuuuuuu

  5. Trump reportedly told Putin he was considering giving weapons to Ukraine and asked: “What do you think?”

    told The Times: “Putin was basically telling [Trump] that you can’t trust Ukraine, and don’t give them anything.”

  6. What’s their source? I never trust these anymore unless they put their name out there. So much fake news these days. 

  7. Still being a traitor committing treason, I see. Lock him up already. He’s a convicted felon out on bail until his sentencing.

  8. It’s crazy to think how even Trump’s smallest fuck-ups would have completely derailed a candidacy 10-20 years ago.

  9. Maybe he’ll request some assistance from Al Qaedda about how to prevent terrorism. Sounds like a plan.

  10. What the actual fuck – unless maga is actually cheering for drumph to submit himself putin, they must be on a whole different planet, viewing something completely different than what the world sees.

    Like what the fuck

    People should read the article. Holy cow.

    >Trump had only been in office for seven months when the pair met. Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson attended the meeting, which was “a masterclass” by Putin to mold the relatively new president’s approach to Ukraine, according to The Times.

    Putin told Trump that Ukraine was a “corrupt” and “fabricated country” and insisted Russia had “every right” to wield its authority over the nation,The Times reported.

    >Trump reportedly told Putin he was considering giving weapons to Ukraine and asked: “What do you think?”

    >The Russian leader said that would be “a mistake.” Ukraine would only ask for more, he reportedly warned Trump. According to three American officials who were in Hamburg, the former president did not push back.

    You need to be tough to deal with a murderer like Putin and Trump got on his goddamn knees instead. The part that Russia had every right to do what it pleases with Ukraine is chilling.

  12. What a fucking inept clown. The fact that this moron was president let alone close to being one again should be something the US feels shame over.

  13. Read the article, Trump didn’t ask for advice, again very poor journalism. He asked an open ended question, simply put, “what does (Putin) think if the U.S. armed Ukraine?” This isn’t a matter of asking for advice as the title states, it’s a matter of opinion.

    Second, the Trump administration approved more lethal aid sales to Ukraine than any other presidency prior including 2 terms of Obama/Biden.

    Third, we’re in the current predicament due to the lack of spine the Obama/Biden administration had post Ukraine peninsula invasion in 2014. Not under Trump, in fact, Biden was tasked under Obama’s direction to handle Ukraine.

    By the way, not voting for Trump but the amount of misinformation people digest here is crazy. How do these people even claim to be smarter “than the other side.”

    That’s like me asking the roaches under my kitchen sink if I should call an exterminator

  15. Breaking: Trump strikes a deal with Putin to arm Ukraine with missiles made by North Korea

    Anyone else think the US giving in to what Putin wants in Ukraine will allow the US to support Israel in disarming Irans nuclear capabilities. Perpetuating global peace.

    I get it’s not ideal, I don’t care about downvotes and just curious how this isn’t a geopolitical win for everyone

  17. He truly is the village idiot, isn’t he?

    And conservatives are out there believing he is some “strong guy” who is tough and highly respected on the global stage, as oppose to a fool that gets outmanouvered and played into gifting influence away while the US gains nothing.

    Whats the next revelation? That he asked Xi about his opinion on TPP? Because pulling out of that was also incredibly dumb just strenghtened China instead, or the unecessary pullout of the Iran nuclear deal that they were abiding by and that again led to fucking nothing.
